Re: Help with regular expresions! [ASAP]

$tag_name = "input"; $new_class = "yourclass"; eregi_replace("(<$tag_name)", "\\1 class=\"$yourclass\"", $yourstring); will work for simple cases, but isn't going to give you much more power than just applying a style to the tag iself - 'input { border : 1px }' say). If the design is consistent, you can usually find longer blocks of unique text for replacing headers, subheads, etc. I'd run the scripts over your templates (backup first), not do output buffering - manually tweaking a couple of exceptions is a hell of a lot faster than building re's to catch them.

Unfortuantely, I didn't make extensive use of stylesheets. I'm hoping for some help with regular expressions matching ( and = replacing ) some tags. I use output buffering, so it would be a simple case of adding some = lines to my output hanlder. eg: replacing < input .... > with < input .... class =3D "something " > and < body .... > with < body .... class =3D "something_else" > Some code, with comments would be really great. Thanks in advance. Peter Gibson
